1. Who I am

I am Sara Butt, the artist behind Sara Butt Art. I sell art prints through my website.

For questions about this Privacy Policy or how your personal information is used, contact me at info@sarabutt-art.co.uk

Business details: Sara Butt, 156 Lynwood Drive Wimborne BH211UT.

 

2. What personal information I collect

When you browse my website or buy an art print, I may collect:

• Contact and delivery details: your name, email address, delivery address and, where needed, billing details.
• Order information: the art prints you order, quantities, order date, order reference and order status.
• Payment information: payment confirmation, transaction reference and relevant payment status information supplied by PayPal or my website’s checkout.
• Messages: information you provide if you contact me about an order or ask a question.
• Technical information: information such as your IP address, browser or device details and website usage information where this is collected through hosting, security or other website technologies.

Please do not send full payment-card details to me by email.

 

3. How I use your information

I use personal information to:

• process and manage your art print order;
• arrange and confirm payment through PayPal;
• package and post your prints to the delivery address you provide;
• contact you about your order, delivery or a problem with your purchase;
• keep appropriate business, accounting and tax records;
• protect my website and help prevent fraud or misuse; and
• respond to enquiries and meet applicable legal obligations.

I will only use your information for marketing where I have an appropriate legal basis and have complied with any applicable consent or opt-out requirements.

 

4. My legal reasons for using personal information

Depending on the circumstances, I rely on the following lawful bases under UK data protection law:

• Contract: to process your purchase, receive payment confirmation and deliver the prints you order.
• Legal obligation: to maintain records and comply with applicable tax, accounting and other legal requirements.
• Legitimate interests: to manage and protect my small business, deal with customer enquiries and maintain website security, where these interests do not override your rights.
• Consent: where consent is required, for example for certain non-essential cookies or marketing activities.

•  

5. PayPal and payments

Payments for art prints are made through PayPal.

PayPal processes payment information in accordance with its own terms and privacy information. I may receive information needed to manage your order, such as payment status, a transaction reference and relevant payer or transaction details.

I do not intend to collect or store your full payment-card details. Please check PayPal’s own privacy information for details of how it processes personal data:

6. Packaging, postage and delivery

I package and post the art prints myself. I use the delivery details you provide to send your order and to resolve delivery problems.

Where necessary, I may share the minimum information needed with a postal or delivery service to deliver your parcel. I do not use a separate print fulfilment company to package and send orders.

 

7. Website hosting and other service providers

My website is built using Site.pro Website Builder. Site.pro and any relevant hosting or technical service providers may process technical information as needed to operate, secure and maintain the website.

Personal information may also be processed by PayPal and by postal or delivery services when necessary to complete an order. These providers process information under their own terms and privacy arrangements where applicable.

I do not sell customers’ personal information.

 

8. Cookies and website technologies

My website may use cookies or similar technologies for essential website functions, security, preferences or other purposes. Any analytics, advertising or other non-essential technologies used on the site will be described in the Cookie Policy, and consent will be requested where required.

If you leave my website to use PayPal, PayPal’s own privacy and cookie information applies to its services. The cookies used on PayPal’s pages may differ from those used on my website.

 

9. How long I keep information

I keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including fulfilling orders, handling customer service issues and meeting legal, accounting and tax obligations.

The retention period depends on the type of record and the reason it is needed. I securely delete or dispose of information when it is no longer required, subject to any legal retention obligations.

 

10. How I protect information

I take reasonable steps to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure. However, no method of transmitting or storing information online can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

 

11. Your data protection rights

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to request access to your personal information, have inaccurate information corrected, request erasure or restriction of certain processing, object to certain uses, or request a copy of information you provided in a portable format.

Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw that consent. This does not affect processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

To exercise your rights, contact me at info@sarabutt-art.co.uk You can also complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you are concerned about how your information is handled: https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/

 

12. Links to other websites

My website may contain links to third-party websites, including PayPal. I am not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites. Please read their privacy notices when using their services.

 

13. Changes to this policy

I may update this Privacy Policy if my website, sales process or legal obligations change. The latest version will be published on this page with its updated date.
